In 1988, Greg Dowling and Shane Johnson started a new club night called "SWEAT" at Ireland's most notorious night club, Sir Henry's. One would hardly consider it an unusual name for a night now, but, back in 1988, people didn't go to clubs to sweat, or at least at first they didn't, but Saturday nights at SWEAT changed all that.

1988, the original summer of love, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, London, Manchester, the Hacienda, Sir Henry's...., dance music exploded and a new way of partying came with it. If you just happened to be in the uppers business, then the time was now. The Shamen's "Ebeneezer Goode' raced up the charts to number one, there were hungry mouths to feed, and it just so happened that in the early part of the 90's, most of anything bound for Europe, passed through Cork City first.

Not that this has anything to do with music of course, but it sets the scene for what was to become one of the top clubs in Europe in the early 90's. 3 night long extravagant weekenders, with line ups like Carl Cox, DIY, Laurent Garnier playing side by side, club fun fairs and gurners galore, as clubbing goes, this was the full on metal jacket.

As with anything, it evolved, the club evolved, the sounds evolved, and the crowd evolved with it. By the mid 90's Sir Henry's had become a house haven playing host to some of genre's most beloved regularly, Kerri Chandler, Jovonn, Joe Claussell, Jerome Sydenham, Roger Sanchez, Glenn Underground, Boo Williams, Cajmere, Gemini, Derrick May, Kevin Yost, Migs, Rasoul, Fred Everything, Erik Rug, Harri, Needs, Calum Walker, Ralph Lawson, Charles Webster, Kevin MacKay, Herbert, DJ Deep, Mike Pickering, Graham Park, just to name a few.

The 90's also saw Greg and Shane turn towards production, under the guise Fish Go Deep. Having played to every element that dance music offers, by this time, their sound and sets had taken a turn towards the deep side. Their very first release on Red Records in 1995, was under the name Fish Go Tech. Soon, Fish Go Deep were back, and many more releases followed on labels like Imperial Dub, Gourmet, Chez, Attic Space, DHN, Inspirit Music, Elevation, Blusoul, and multi-releases on !Records and Brique Rouge featuring many talented vocalists such as Mary Cigarettes, Tracy Kelliher and Rebecca Meagher.

For some people, these guys are just great dj's, and for many dj's, they are considered great producers, and for many more, they are considered an institution. Just about to embark on a small North American tour, I managed to catch up with them to find out their latest on some news and reviews.....

DHN: The last interview I did with you guys was back in Nov 2001, just when the 13 year residency at Sir Henry's had come to an end? Now, nearly 3 years on, how does it feel to look back on that time?

FGD: Good times and good memories. We've been keeping busy since then so it seems like a long time ago. Also, since that time your reputation as producers has come on tremendously, you have been busy in the studio since then? Yeah, we've done a lot of different work. Over the last two years we've been concentrating on a couple of album projects. Both are pretty much finished now so we're looking forward to doing some club tracks again.

DHN: What have been your favourite tracks of your own that you have been most proud of that have come out over the last few years?

FGD: Like twelve inch circular plastic children, we luv them all!

DHN: Do you see any pattern or certain type of style that has emerged in your music over time, or to you as the producer, do you hear progression in your own music?

FGD: Whatever sound we've developed over the years probably has more to do with the way we work and the studio we work in than anything else. There's no grand plan at any rate. Progression is a subjective thing, isn't it?
It's not our top priority. If we listen back at the end of a day in the studio and can say "that's good" then we're happy.

DHN: Do you think this has added anything to your music, or taught you anything, having a third party input to your sound?

FGD: Nearly every collaboration we've done has taught us something new. Even the ones that don't work out can be useful.

DHN: What is your current dj-ing schedule like? Any good nights people can look forward to?

FGD: Our main focus is on our weekly Go Deep party in Cork. It'll be one year old in September so we're planning a birthday bash at the moment. We're also looking forward to a bit of traveling over the next few months. In August we'll be in the US and Canada and, in September, France and Sweden.

DHN: What records are you currently spinning every time you play?

FGD: 'No More Believe' by Franck Roger & M'Selem has been big for months. Every summer I pull out 'Que Tal America' by A Man Called Adam for those sunshine moments.

DHN: On the whole Vinyl V's MP3 debate that has emerged lately in the industry, what are your thoughts and what camp are you in- vinyl or digital?

FGD: We both prefer playing off vinyl but we play cd's a lot too and even mp3s if that's the only format available. Mp3 is ok for our radio show 'cos broadcast processing evens everything out but on a big club system you can really hear the difference in quality.

DHN: Who was the best guest you have had come play in Cork in the last year and why?

FGD: Guest deejays have never been the main focus at our club nights. Rather than trying to sell Go Deep on whoever happens to be touring each week, we prefer to feature someone we really like every couple of months. In the past year....Charles Webster, Yannick and Lars from Needs and DJ Deep have all been great. Cartoon's live show was cool too.

DHN: Is there anything you have been working on that is due to be released that we can look forward to?

FGD: We have a new record called 'Hey Mr California' out any minute now on Blusoul and an ep on Gourmet in the Autumn. Those albums are in the pipeline as well.

DHN: With the release of Bodytonic's first release featuring Aruba and Paul Hughes, Paul having recently released in Brique Rouge, as well as Blusoul, DHN, Elevation, Connections, plus many more, do you think Ireland is beginning to get some serious recognition for house music?

FGD: It's been frustrating how long it has taken for people here to make the music but it is starting to happen. I've been getting some nice demos from local Cork producers recently - that's promising.

DHN: With the fall of San Francisco (an arguable point, but I mean the popularity of the 'West Coast' sound), where do you think THE next place for house will be? Ie, the US, or UK or Europe?

FGD: Who knows. We've never been too bothered about where the music has come from - if we like it we'll play it. While it might be natural for a city or an area to have a particular sound, an organised scene like that usually only exists in the media. I suppose it's easier to write about music if there's that kind of angle.

DHN: How is the website going since you launched it?

FGD: It's going really well. Lots of people - old and new heads - have been dropping by to say hello. We've been putting up our old Sweat mixes from the '90s for download and they've been very popular. We also put our Red FM radio show up there and it goes down well too.

So, with new ep's out on Chicago's Gourmet, and an upcoming album on Toronto's Ultrasound Recordings, even if you can't catch them at one of their US or Canadian dates, you can certainly check out their latest sounds, or for some great mixes that range from 1992 right up to now,

There is just enough time before NYE to cram in a few more tour announcements for what looks to be a very busy start to 2006 for clubbers. This time around it is the turn of one of the Dons of D'n'B, Andy C.Together with the highly respected MC GQ, Andy C returns to Oz this January for his highly anticipated Nightlife Tour.

Andy's start in the business came when he was unbelievably just 15, and teamed up with good mate Ant Miles to experiment with production. The result was the 'Valley of the Shadows' under the Origin Unknown alias, a track still regarded as one! of DnB's most classic offerings. Andy began Ram Records in 1992 on a shoestring budge of £1000. Few could have imagined what an impact the label would have. A name synonymous with quality, Ram has been the platform for DnB supergroup the RAM Trilogy (Andy C, Ant Miles & Shimon). The group's industrial-charged 'No Reality/Scanners', 'Mind Overload/Intercity' and 'Chase Scene/Terminal' were scene-ruling anthems.

One of the most celebrated DnB artists in history, Andy C has scooped the award for 'Best DJ' at the Knowledge awards and by website Drum 'n' Bass Arena, as well as being recognised at the Accelerated Culture's 'People's Choice Award' in 2002.

Dubbed 'The Executioner' for his cut-throat mixing skills and killer performances, Andy is touring Oz to promote Nightlife 3, the latest edition in his cutting-edge compilation series featuring the who's who of DnB, and capturing the essence of where this dynamic sound is headed. The album features Sub Focus, Shimon, Dillinja, Pendulum, Fresh, Moving Fusion and more.

Joining on his upcoming tour of Oz by MC GQ, a man voted no.1 MC at the Hardcore Awards and considered by many to have the best flow in the biz.

Chad: Why do you feel that US DJs are not getting the kind of attention that UK DJs get?
Noel: Well, the UK is like ground zero for progressive dance. The perception over here is that anything English is bigger and better and for an American DJ to get real respect on these shores, he (or she) first has to get it over there. Most often. But it is set up better over there, I mean the clubs, the labels, the scene is more mature, the mainstream has a much better understanding of it and DJ culture in general is accepted widely. Chris Fortier is a good example. He is just now getting the props he deserves after years of relentlessly promoting the progressive sound in the states, and he is mixing bedrock volume three. He goes to Europe every month at least once or twice, and if there is any justice in the universe should be huge by this time next year. But quite frankly he has paid a lot of dues, and in some ways is still paying them.

Chad: You chose Hybrid's remix of NGCBD on your Ritual cd, why that mix?
Noel: It has just enough of the vocal without cheesing it out. With that mix I really liked the big bassline that came in after the breakdown. To be honest, I also needed some bigger names on the cd, since my name isnt that big, to help sell the cd. That was something the label asked me for, and I felt like this was a track that had two big names (Hybrid and BT), and didn't compromise my mix at all since I had played it out a bit from a cd-r prior to it's release.

Noel SangerChad: Was it ATB's success with your sample from No greater Love that tempted you for a 2000 styled remix?
Noel: No, I honestly don't know how much success they got from that. Actually, my remix was on board before they requested use of the sample.

Chad: You have modernized No Greater Love, have you considered giving the same remix treatment to 'All We Are' or other of your past hits?
Noel: Yes, a song is timeless and can be remixed in many different styles.

Chad: I understand that you and Hamel have remixed a track by Delerium - Innocente (Hamel V Sanger Mix) can you shed some more light on that?
Noel: It went down like this. I am managed by Nettwerk. My manager thought that I should remix Delerium's next single in light of the huge success Silence received. I was to remix it on spec and since I didn't have my studio set up at my current location, I gave Billy a call. He and I had been talking about working together for some time, so we got on it, and we loved it. The track went through various phases of the label squashing it and unsquashing it and it is again squashed despite a lot of praise from top DJs. I am afraid it wont see the light of day.

in April will be the release of my next mix CD but i'm not supposed to talk about it yet, but I can say, it'll be a double CD on a great label.Chad: what's next for original tunes on your release schedule?
Noel: Well, you already have heard "Breathe" and graciously reviewed it- thank you- and that should come out toward the end of november on Musicnow. Musicnow just picked up new UK distribution through Prime and this will be the first release. All sorts of Dj's are playing it- I heard that Oakenfold got a huge reaction at Renaissance with it a week ago. It's top ten on all the major buzz charts. After that will be "Dissident" which appeared on "Ritual", but that mix won't be released, I did a new mix for the vinyl and so did Greg "Stryke" Chin. The next two releases arent scheduled yet but they will be "Toward the One" and "My Prayer" the latter of which features an amazing vocal by my wife, soulmate and all around musical genius, Dauby. She also does the vocals on "Breathe". Also in April will be the release of my next mix CD but i'm not supposed to talk about it yet, but I can say, it'll be a double CD on a great label. And we'll have promos for WMC.

Chad: Any other collaborations or a wish list that we should know about?
Noel: Hmm, lets see...Dave Ralph, Memnon of Music Now, Steve Porter, Deepsky. A lot of those are great potentials, being really only held back by logistics. I love collaborating with other artists. When I worked with Bill (Hamel), I felt like I was in school. I mean, I have been producing music for most of my life, but you get into your own way of doing things. It's awesome to work with other guys and get out of my groove and get into someone else's head. I gain a whole different way of thinking about production and learn a lot from their energy.

Chad: What about future remixes?
Noel: Another collaboration in the works is with DJ Stryke. He is mostly known for his techno productions, but he is one of the most amazing musicians. My next release is a remix of his new single "All That Remains" on Substance. Next, Orlando's Prophecy has a new song called "Daydream" which i just mixed. Following that, I am doing the new Mezz (Bill Hamel and Simon Noble) for Sunkissed.

Chad: What can you tell me about the Guardians of the Earth - Star Children (Noel Sanger remix)?
Noel: This is a cool vocal track. Ryan from Dream Music handed me a copy during my set at the giant hotel rooftop at the last WMC. It's a big 144 bpm euro trance anthem that I would never play, but it had a real beautiful spirit to it and a great bjork-esque vocal. I called him up and asked for an accapella and a shot at a mix. They sent it to me and I did it and I guess we all like it a lot. Dave Ralph, Chris Fortier, Medway and a bunch of other big guys are on it, and Paul Van Dyk has his own remix (a re-edit mostly) on his forthcoming Ministry CD.

Chad: Sander Klienenberg describes progressive as an attitude, and it is defined as moving forward, what does progressive mean to you?
Noel: I concur with Sander, it's an intangible thing. Taking chances, moving forward, being subtle rather than obvious. This is progressive.

Chad:What would you say are your three all time favorite lps?
Noel: I'll avoid the obvious electronic stuff : these are three all time favorites, maybe not THE three...
# Toy Matinee - "Toy Matinee." This comes to mind instantly, like a good old friend. Kevin Gilbert was a true genius.
# Queensryche - "Rage For Order" There are great production things going on here. This come out in 1986 and it still sounds fresh.
# Kansas - "Leftoverture" this one might make me sound a bit crusty, but the music this band made managed to be technical and progressive and still emotional. Unlike a lot of other progrockers who came across as intellectual and sterile. There are several songs on this album that reduce me to rubble, I mean just make me sob with their urgency and timeless beauty. Up to "Drastic Measures" everything they did was ace, but this is the one I've listened to most recently.

It's funny because the 3 cd's I gave you are all considered progressive, 70's progressive rock, 80's progressive metal, and 90's progressive pop. I guess the music that has always been closest to me has always been progressive, in one way or another!

Renaissance is delighted to announce a very fresh start for 2006 – '3D', a compilation that welcomes a new concept and DJ to the label's ever-growing series of albums.

First to take up the challenge is US-based Japanese wünderkind Satoshi Tomiie. An integral member of Manhattan's prestigious Def Mix collective, Satoshi is famed for his blistering productions and remixes, and his pioneering SAW label. Clubbers across the world know him for the incredible DJ sets that see him criss cross the globe on a regular basis, making him one of dance music's most respected ambassadors and an immediate candidate to launch the '3D' project.

As the name suggests, '3D' is a triple album, with each disc drawing on the key musical aspects of Satoshi's career. First up is Club, a bang-up-to-date recording of his live sets; then there's Studio, a CD that really proves Satoshi's commitment to the project with its seven exclusive remixes and re-edits of the likes of Photek, Kosheen & Hybrid; and finally the Home CD switches gear and delves into Satoshi's personal collection of favourite cuts.

Progressive-Sounds: The Global Undergound 28 'Shanghai' album focused a lot on new talent. Was this a major influence on the direction of the album, or if not, what criteria were you using when making the track selection?

Nick Warren: It was my concern that new talent is not getting a platform or chance to showcase their abilities. In the past, people like myself were given record deals which gave us the opportunity to make an album. This no longer seems to be the case, so I wanted my audience and fans to hear the talent of these producers from all over the world.

Progressive-Sounds: With the release of your previous Global Underground album, you stated it would be your last Global Underground compilation. What were the reasons for this, and what brought about your return to the series?

Nick Warren: Actually I stated that I wasn't sure if I wanted to make another compilation. My words were misconstrued slightly.

Progressive-Sounds: You recently took to the main stage at the Dance Valley Festival in Holland. In regards to these type of events, how do you feel they have changed (if at all) during your time as a DJ, and how do you compare playing in a club type environment as opposed to large dance party events?

Nick Warren: Events such as Dance Valley are very special. The organisers put a massive amount of time and work in to make the event a quality show. Some dance festivals take the piss with poor quality production, although I do feel the best festivals are the ones that give a full range of music, rock and dance.

Progressive-Sounds: In the earlier days, you toured with trip-hop band Massive Attack as their DJ. Did this in any way influence or affect your mixing or productions? If so, in what ways?

Nick Warren: It really was the best introduction to playing to crowds for me. I was there to set the vibe for the audience, and my job was to build it up until the band came on. So many Djs want to make the maximum impact, when they should just set the mood. Too many people care about stardom today, and that is always a mistake.

Progressive-Sounds: Nick Warren & Jody Wisternoff as Way Out WestProgressive-Sounds: Since teaming up with Jody Wisternoff to form Way Out West back in 1994, have there been any predominating influences over the band's work during the years? Also, in terms of the band, are there any plans for the future as of yet?

Nick Warren: We will start recording again at the end of the year. My influences have always been away from dance music. 4AD Records were a big influence as were bands like New Order and even Jean Michel Jarre.

Progressive-Sounds: With you and Jody having been into different styles of music, did this help define the sound of "Way Out West" in any way at all? In certain situations it would seem that there is the possibility for this to cause disagreements, does this happen very often?

Nick Warren: In over ten years we have never really argued, weird I know! But we trust each other's judgement on ideas and I think we are closer than we have ever been.

Progressive-Sounds: Aside from the forthcoming remixes of BCML's 'Mr Horowitz' and Echo And The Bunnymen's 'Lips Like Sugar', are there any other projects we will see Way Out West add their touch to in the near future?
' Nick Warren: Nothing really. With the release of the Shanghai album I really don't have time to get into the studio at the moment, as I'm touring non stop to promote the album.

Progressive-Sounds: Are there any particular albums at the moment that you have been listening to on a constant basis?
Nick Warren: I love abstract music. I am a big fan of a Scandinavian artist called Arve Henrikson, and also the new album by Icelandic band Sigur Ros is sensational.

We need some stars again. In 2005 there is no Orbital or Leftfield or Prodigy. Progressive-Sounds: Finally, you would have seen the industry as a whole experience many changes. Based on what you have seen in the past, do you have any predictions as to where the scene may be headed in the future?


Nick Warren: We need some stars again. In 2005 there is no Orbital or Leftfield or Prodigy. Record labels have lost faith in dance and they are wrong. There is still a huge audience worldwide.
